AlbaSoie contains licorice extract, Glabridin and Alpha Arbutin (Bearberry extract). All three ingredients are tyrosinase inhibitors.
Tyrosinase is an enzyme that converts tyrosine to melanin. Melanin is the pigment that gives dark colour to the skin. The more melanin in the skin, the darker the skin becomes. So less tyrosinase leads to a lighter skin.
Black skin has up to 10 times more tyrosinase activity and produces up to 10 times more melanin (dark color) than white skin. (1)
Upon exposure of the skin to UV radiation (sun), darkening of the skin) is initiated with the first step of tyrosine oxidation through an enzyme called tyrosinase (Vámos, 1981).
In addition to the proven effectiveness of its ingredients, their collective synergistic actions, and the science that supports their effectiveness, the formula has been designed carefully to ensure that these ingredients do reach the target cells to make the required effect by reaching the target cells (i.e. make the ingredients bio-available). AlbaSoie has been formulated by utilizing the most advanced dermatological advances.
